    Server Description

    An ARM-powered general-purpose instance featuring forty-eight physical cores, massive local storage, and top-tier memory bandwidth for data-intensive workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D48pds_v6 is an ARM-based general-purpose server powered by a 48-core Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor running at 3.4 GHz. Featuring 192.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 2835 GB local disk, this instance delivers a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-memory ratio. Benchmark results highlight exceptional memory subsystem performance, with uncached large-block read and write bandwidth and Passmark database operations ranking in the top 10% tier. Multi-core execution is highly efficient, though single-core performance and certain LLM inference tasks represent performance tradeoffs. Lacking GPU acceleration, the server is qualitatively cost-efficient for highly parallelized, memory-intensive workloads. It is best suited for database management, static web serving, software compilation, and multi-threaded enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    3.37Score
    Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
